NYC Or Nothing

Tony Joe came from on Staten Island
Aurora Dawn took the L from Williamsburg
Mindy never lost her book
She liked reading it too much
They all met in Tompkins Square Park
I said, hey Howard, play another song on your Fender
Everyone’s dancing and there’s a vibe in the air
I said, hey Alison, is your hair back to blue again?
That was always my favorite
Dear, you’re a rainbow
And all the New Yorkers go…
Do do do, do do do do
Do do do, do do do do…
Love in New York

Rollerskatin’
In Central Park
Round about three o’oclock
On a Sunday afernoon
To the sound of Motown tunes
Is this really true?
You have to see
In New York City
In New York City
I said stop
Stop what?
Stop roller skating?
No
Two cats
By which I mean dudes
Dancing with each other
Before the Chelsea Hotel
I said stop
Stop dancing?
Nah
Eight African American ladies and one old white chick with a Chihuahua do a line dance outside Telio
Greek and Spanish restaurant on the Upper West Side where they do this every Wednesday night
Stop ladies
Huh?
Stop
In the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it oh-oh-ver
Love in New York

Hey there
No one knows
What goes down
And what just goes
New York City is a place where you can be
Be what other places won’t let you be
Candy had a crush on the boy who sold sneakers in the park – Washington
Square – that he painted himself. He used to be an accountant.
Billy had a crush on a plasticine doll and the boy who owned it.
His name was Biff, undeniably ironic
They would meet for cappuccino in West Village Father Demo Square
A girl named Carolina
You never will see finer
InNmidated all the men
Till Max approached her at MOMA
He said, “Rauschenberg was a crazy cat and I love you so.”
What goes up must come down
But New York City just goes round and round
Love in New York

I got my girl named Wanda June
She really raises my bar
She come from Delray Beach and she went to Bryn Mawr
She got a classic seven on the Upper East Side
We make an odd pair ’cause my name is MC Easy Ride
Her dowager friends get down when I start spinning
We order chopped liver from the Sturgeon King
Wanda June’s real name is Dani June Cabot
But I call her Wanda, it’s a real bad habit
Sometimes in the Boat Basin we rent a rowboat
New York City is our castle and we’re rowing in the moat
We’re in the Sunday Times today, believe it or not
‘Cause Wanda June and I just Red the knot
Love in New York

Open on a packed subway station. The air is thick and hot.

The station is crowded as people scurry to where they want to go.

We see a woman stop at the subway booth for a MetroCard issue. The Vender in the booth notices the woman and falls in love with her instantly. In an act of bravery to get her attention, timid at first but then growing to a crescendo, in his deep beautiful voice, he sings her a beautiful song.

The woman is taken back and blushes at the brave act. We see the other people in the subway all taken back by the amazing voice and song the man sings.

Couples hold hands, some subway riders swoon as others cheer.

Clips of songs having something to do with New York

…a no go and everything tastes nice…this ain’t no Mud Club, or CBGB…State of mind…twenty twenty twenty four hours to go…if you get caught between the moon and…you’re pale blue eyes. Linger on, your pale blue eyes…those little town blues…

New York is always in your heart.

Love in New York.
